Less than 24-hours from the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement and fans watch from the outside as the future of their sport is decided at a negotiation table.

But just what exactly do that fans have to worry about? How far could this thing go?

“There’s going to be a season,” former NFL coach and current analyst, Brian Billick said on the Boers and Bernstein Show. “One thing we all know, we can all agree, there will be a deal at some point. The question becomes, how much of the game, and how much of each other are we going to trash along the way, and how much money are we going to cost ourselves up to that point. It is inconceivable to me that we would miss a game, that would go under the category of the galactically stupid.

“A lockout? Sure…If it doesn’t involve missing games, who cares? Do the fans really care? We’re going to have The Draft…Now we might miss some OTA days. Does it effect some training camp? Yes. But we’re not going to miss some games. It is just inconceivable to me that it would get to that point.”
